FMCbwnegs278 25080 plus 50xxx Exeter

Another view of Class 25 25080 and the unidentified 50 at Exeter this time with a Class 33 creeping in. It looks like all may be waiting to see what the next step is as the cab door is open.

25080 was a Bath Road loco from January 1972 to May 1976 before moving to Laira, the 50's arrived on the western in 1973/4 and there is another shot at Exeter on I think the same day showing a headcode hence the 1974-76 estimation of time.

25080 was new as D5230 to Cricklewood in October 1963 and withdrawn in 1985, it seems to have been cut up however till 1993 by MC metals.
